I have a fair number of good links building up here, so I will give them to you relatively rapid fire.
Things are heating up a bit more with Iran. It could be an interesting year or so. U.S. troops found Iranian money in a Baghdad raid recently funding a terror cell. Read it here. France's new President, Nicholas Sarkozy is calling for tougher sanctions on Iran. His election looks like it will be good news for the U.S.
John Edwards says it it time to move past the "war on terror," saying the global war is made up. This guy is a laugh riot. Read him here. He says the war on terror is a "bumber sticker."
Steve Jobs of Apple fame is pushing for Al Gore to run for President. This could be an interesting election.
John Boehner, Republican leader in the House of Representatives calls the immigration bill a "piece of sh**" here.
A man in Minnesota is handing out dollar bills to people who will use E85 instead of regular gas. I salute him. And it is not just drivers feeling the pain at the pumps. Apparently, several gas stations have stopped selling gas because of the high price.
A wealthy NY couple is being charged under Slavery laws.
Enjoy the rest of the day.

Edwards is wack. We did not start the war, they did. Some jerks ran planes into a couple of buildings and a couple thousand people died (including one they chalked up today because of breathing in crap in 01). Obviously after finding some Iranian money recently Iraq is still not a US friendly place. Terrorists have not been emboldened since the war began. They were way more bold in 01 when they crashed into the Twin Towers. I am rambling so I will stop. Bottom line, Edwards is wack.
Interesting the couple was busted for slavery. They did not have your usuall US last names so they were probably used to slaves when they lived in thier former country. Once again we see a rich older man with a younger woman. That should also be a crime.
I love the B.S. folksy-wisdom. Yes Jon Edwards is wack. It is obvious that the 2008 Democratic Presidential Candidacy will be a two person race, and he is the odd man out. He feels it, and this is his last ditch effort to push the Bush-bashing envelope further than ever in order to receive a few seconds on CNN so liberal voters might remember a name other than Hillary or Obama.
On the slavery, very astute observation BS... I often forget that outside of the West slavery is a very acceptable practice.
NT, I have now become addicted to the New Right...it is the first website I check for the news and political commentary. Where else can I get a reply from the author of best blog in the (to quote the President) "blogosphere and the internets"
Thanks for the kind words Johann, and thanks for your contribution.
P.S. Edwards might have a but more appeal than you think. He is leading by a substantial margin in Iowa last poll I checked.
Will it be Algore/Edwards in 2008? Algore resurfacing has always made me nervous. He may make a come back as Nixon did in 1968. It will happen if the two front runners flounder and Algore would come in as a "white night" and rescue the party from peril. The only thing which would prevent this would be party rules regarding delegate commitment.
One thing which boggles my mind is a CEO that is a cheer leader for someone who is totally wedded to the nanny state. The proliferation of rules and regualtions will take away our freedoms. He must be totally out of touch with reality of everyday living. Who knows, listening to ipods may be outlawed in public places if they are found to contribute to global warming.
Note to Jarrod and Jethro: (f.k.a. Gang of Two) Thank you guys for showing me the path. Jummy is by far the worst U.S. president in history. He has no business opening his southern fried trap regarding any issue foreign or domestic. We were just lucky that the American people were enlightened enough to elected Ronald Reagan in 1980. Beacause America elected Reagan in 1980, we could say good by to malaise, double digit inflation, double digit interest rates, and stranded helicopters in the Iranian desert.
